Thousands Rally for Civilian Police Accountability Council in Chicago

Thousands of people took to the streets in Chicago on Saturday to demand a Civilian Police Accountability Council to oversee Chicago police. “This is what united action for community control of the police looks like.” Frank Chapman, lead organizer for the Chicago Alliance Against Racist and Political Repression which sponsored the march, said. “We’ve initiated a new stage in the struggle with a clear political objective demanding systemic change. CPAC is about power to the people!”
